Home Made Vegetable Soup - With Carrots and Rice

Yesterday was one of those days when everything works out the way you didn't plan it, so I didn't put up any of my cooking recipes.

Today was the childrens first day back at school after the spring holidays. I managed to catch up with everything.

Soup is healthy, soup is tasty, soup is so simple to make.

2 medium sized carrots
1 onion
1 handfull of rice
parsley leaves
salt and pepper
butter
thickened cream (your choice which one)
water

Step 1

Dice up the onion and lightly fry on butter until it softens up, then add a handful of rice and fry for a minute to two minutes, then add 1 litre of water and cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 2

Grate the carrots and add them along with all the other ingredients and cook for 10 minuta.

Note:

1- If you use thickened cream, you can add it together with the carrots and spices, then you have to cook for an extra 5 minutes.

2- Feel free to add soup noodles if you like, add them the same time you add the carrots.

This is a very tasty and light soup, opens up the appetite for the main meal!
